john boehner believes they are going nowhere fast. their frustration is the president campaigned on raising taxes of $800 billion and the proposal yesterday was $1.6 billion in taxes, but there is also new spending, about $50 billion. john boehner teed off on that. >> the white house spent three weeks trying to develop a proposal and they sent one up here that calls for $1.6 trillion in new taxes. calls for not even $400 billion in cuts, and they want to have this extra spending that's actually greater and the amount they are willing to cut. it's different was not a serious proposal. >> reporter: boehner saying he stuck his neck out the day after the elect when he said he would put tax revenues on the table. he believes there is very little progress on the white house side in terms of spending cuts. so the boehner position is until the white house puts more spending cuts on the table he's not ready to kit a deal. the white house position is you have got to move forward on this tax position and we'll deal with spending cuts later. they

[laughter] megyn: simon's got a lot of good ideas. were you in that meeting with the unions and the progressive groups that the president had -- >> no. i was in a different meeting. they can't meet with all at the same time. megyn: were you in the meeting that the progressive groups emerged from feeling, quote, very happy where they felt that the white house with us not going -- was not going to offer any spending cuts? they felt those programs were all going to be protected? >> no, no, i don't think that's what was said after that meeting. i think what the democrats want is balance. i think they're willing to give. i mean, in the president's budget now is $300 billion of additional cuts in medicare, and this is why what marc's saying is just not true. the democrats have shown a willingness to give on all four of the places we think we need to give. it's been the republicans who have been intransigent on tax increases and defense cuts. if we can come to a deal like we did in 2011, we cut medicare, we propose more medicare cuts, we wan

[laughter] megyn: john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations. it's come to this! has the president seen "the devil wears prada,", which, you know, was profittedly based on anna wintour. your thoughts on that, mr. ambassador. >> how do you know she's not going to be the next secretary of state? why limit her to a mere ambassadorship? it wouldn't surprise me. it has been historically the case that large contributors to presidential campaigns get appointed -- megyn: and she's one of the top ten bundlers for president obama. >> and i have to tell you, i've had wide experience with political appointees -- true, mostly republicans -- and they've been very effective. i would not underestimate how important it is overseas to have somebody who knows the president personally, who could call the president if they needed to. and here's the really important thing, who cares first and foremost about the president's policy. not about what the bureaucracy at the state department wants, but about the president's policy. i'm not saying anna wintour's going to do all that -- megyn:

how speaker john boehner said he was flabbergasted. mitch mcconnell reportedly laughed out loud and in this debate over reducing the debt, the president is pushing for an additional $255 billion in spending. he wants those higher taxes to spend more, which is leading to some criticism. joining me now is brad blakeman, the former deputy to george w. bush. and chairman of the south carolina democratic party. a deal that is all about the republicans desire to cut back on the debt and deficit -- why would the president be proposing $255 billion in war spending? >> well, he's not. what he is proposing is shifting spending priorities. after those cuts, shifting priorities, and by the way -- this is infrastructure development. this is to make sure that people who have gone the payroll tax relief keep that payroll tax relief and expanding unemployment benefits. i will say this. this is the president's initial proposal. the silence from the republicans is deafening. they can counter this. but all they have done is whine and weep and cry and lau

john bolton was on i monday others saying assad doesn't have a death wish. it would be non-sensical for him to understand leash these chemical weapons because he knows the retaliation he would face. do you agree with that? >> no, i do not agree. first of all what retaliation has he faced for the massacre of his own people. if everything chances around him he's count on russia getting him out and getting asylum in moscow or tehran. and there is a good chance he will get no matter what he does. the question is not whether -- what he gains by using these chemical weapons, these horrific weapons, but why wouldn't he use them. he's fighting for the life of his regime. he does remember the example of qaddafi. and he may want to take revenge on his own people. never under estimate and emotional response. i would give full credit to the idea he may turn chemical weapons on his own people as a last resource and fully expect to get away with it. megyn: we have been showing some of the devastation in syria. i believe that school that was bombed not by the assad regime.
